Exposure Metering System TTL full-aperture exposure metering system;
1) D-/G-type Nikkor lenses support 3D-Color Matrix Metering II using the
1,005-pixel RGB Sensor while other AF Nikkor lenses with built-in CPUs
support Matrix Metering (Non-CPU lenses require manual input of lens data)

3) Spot Metering (3mm dia. circle, approx. 2% of entire frame); metering position
can be linked to the focus area when using Nikkor lenses with built-in CPU
Exposure Metering Range 1) 3D-Color Matrix Metering II: EV 0 to 20
